Interesting. I had a vaguely similar idea (though without hard numbers), but called them 'Intermediate' (Barely Greater to Minor Greater, I think) 'Greater,' and 'Epic,' with possibly a higher level called something like 'World-Shaking.'
Either way, the idea that the more energy you need to gather at once, the harder it is (outside of special conditions), makes a lot of sense.
For something like Banestorm, it neatly explains why the Elves haven't reversed it or shut it down, because that absolutely falls into 'World-Shaking/Great Greater territory, on top of the severe difficulty of avoiding the familiarity penalties, and the simple fact that gathering so much energy would be terrifically difficult even without this.
